This is not a retreat you simply attend—it is a journey you move through; a space to step out of the noise, the roles, the expectations and gently, powerfully return to yourself.
Many women arrive feeling disconnected—from their bodies, their truth, their energy. Tired from the constant doing. Carrying layers of tension, emotions, and patterns they may not even have words for… only a quiet knowing that something needs to shift.
This retreat is designed as a pathway back.
Held in the sacred lands of the Sacred Valley, and guided by the wisdom of Nature and Andean cosmology, you’ll begin to attune to a different rhythm—one that is slower, cyclical, and deeply restorative. As you reconnect with the natural world, you begin to remember your own nature.
Over eight days, we journey through the seven chakras as a map of the self—each one opening a doorway into a different layer of your being. Through yoga, meditation, mantra, ritual, and ceremony, you’ll explore these energy centers not just physically, but emotionally, energetically, and spiritually. As each layer unfolds, you’ll be guided to release what has been held—old patterns, stored emotions, internalized beliefs—creating space for clarity, vitality, and alignment to emerge.
This is not about fixing yourself. It is about remembering who you are—beneath the noise, beneath the conditioning, beneath the layers.
A return to yourself in a way that feels clear, grounded and true.

The seven major energy centers of the body not only govern our physical body but are also portals into spiritual development. The chakras offer a pathway towards psychological, emotional, physical and even generational healing. Each chakra invites us to explore different aspects of our being, both past and present.
On this retreat we will explore a different energy center each day, starting from the root chakra and finishing at the crown. Through chakra-inspired yoga & meditation sessions, medicinal music & mantra, ceremony & ritual, art therapy, and visits & hikes to sacred locations we will cleanse and open the energy centers, allowing your body and spirit to open, release, and realign.
Over the eight days of the retreat, you will enter the realms of the chakras through each of your senses, to achieve a complete body-mind-spirit experience. We go beyond asana, beyond yoga, to integrate the powerful medicine of Nature and Andean cosmology and explore the different aspects of life that the chakras embody.
All of this held within the powerful energetic space of the Sacred Valley.
Your retreat experience is a carefully curated journey through the seven energy centers—guiding you through the physical, emotional, and spiritual layers of your being.
Each day is intentionally designed to embody a different chakra through yoga, ritual, and immersive experiences in nature. Timing may gently shift depending on weather and the natural rhythm of the group. You will have time for rest and relaxation between scheduled experiences.

✧ The Journey
This sacred extension unfolds over four days:
All logistics are seamlessly handled through a trusted local agency, allowing you to fully surrender to the experience.
✧ A Once-in-a-Lifetime Way to Experience Machu Picchu
Most visitors experience Machu Picchu in a few rushed hours. You will experience it twice—and in the most powerful moments of the day.
Guided by ceremony, you’ll work with:
This is not about seeing Machu Picchu: It’s about feeling it and being changed by it.
All levels of yoga experience are welcome. Practices will be beginner friendly. Yoga is one of the many tools that we will use during this retreat but it will not be the sole focus.
This is not a strenuous yoga retreat but rather a wellness journey open to all levels. Having said that, you need to be in good health because of the altitude of the Sacred Valley and the remote location of our retreat. The average altitude of the Sacred Valley is approximately 2,800 to 2,900 meters (about 9,200 to 9,500 feet) above sea level. We will also be going on a nature hike that is moderate in difficulty. Talk to Valerie if you have any doubts or questions.
You will fly into Lima and then catch a domestic flight to Cusco.
Group transfers from and to Cusco airport are included. The drive is about 1.5 hours. Coordinate your inbound flight with Valerie so that you can take the group transport vehicle to the retreat.
You will be eating deliciously healthy vegetarian meals while at the retreat. The center prepares its meals using its own organic gardens and will accommodate any dietary needs you may have (please advise beforehand). Herbal teas and filtered water are available throughout the day.
Of course. If you and a friend both choose to come on this trip, you may request to be roomed together. If you come on your own, you will be paired with another woman. (You can also opt for the Single room option.) We will have at least one group zoom call before the trip. If you meet another retreat participant who you would like to room with, we will absolutely take that into account. Be open and flexible. Sometimes we meet lifelong friends when going on retreat.
